Ingredients:
– Organic pizza sauce (pasta sauce, I used original Whole Foods brand)
– 1 roll of Low fat croissants (Make sure they have no dairy! Some do!)
– I small pack of mushrooms (I used portabellos) (optional)
– About 15 big spinach leaves. (Double them if they are small)
– Onion Powder (Optional)
– 2 small handfuls of Vegan Mozerella cheese.

Directions:
Pre-heat oven to what the croissant package says.
Open the croissants, take 2 of them and press them together on the edges (It will make a rectangle) Flatten out to your desired size. Add 2 tablespoons of the pizza sauce, slice your mushrooms into thin slices like a pizza place would. Add as many as you want. Take half of the spinach about 7 leaves remove the stems and give it a rough chop, then add to the pizza. Add a small handful of Vegan mozerella cheese. Take the same amount of croissants and press the edges together and put on top and push the edges together. Add some onion powder on top. (If you desire, you can add as many toppings as you would like. Of any flavor.)

Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown.

This makes 2 big hot pockets. I eat about half of one. So this can serve anywhere from 2 to 4 people.

It is delicious! Low in fat and great on calories. I hope you enjoy.

I have to agree with hmmm. I’m not sure why I let this one slip through, but it’s nowhere near low-fat. I’m considering taking it down, but the fact that people have tried it and liked it makes me hesitate.

This sounds delicious, but it is definitely not healthy (which is fine if you’re just trying to eat vegan, but this blog also has “fatfree” in it’s name 🙂 ) Not trying to be a fat free snob here but I consider this site a literal gold mine for people like me who are trying to stick to a diet like Dr. Esselstyn’s… but I digress…

Anyway assuming you get 4 servings out of this, you’re looking at about 14g of fat per serving, with 5g of it being saturated fat. This is using the reduced fat crescent rolls and the lowest fat vegan mozerrella I could find online.

Now compare the fat content of that to a McDonald’s cheeseburger (12g fat, 6g saturated from mcdonalds.com)… let’s just say I am not too impressed with those numbers 🙂

Anyway, I’d love to hear suggestions on ways to swap out the crescent rolls for something else because they are the main source of the problem… I was thinking either a tortilla or some other kind of bread…

Well I tasted vegan mozzarella cheese plain…yuck. However, after adding all the ingredients and cooking the hot packets…..OMG….I totally feel like a cheater! It was freaking awesome! I felt like I ate something I wasn’t supposed to! Thank you for the recipe!!!! Nummy nummy!

They’re not croissants, they’re crescent rolls. Bit difference. Pillsbury makes a low fat crescent roll in a tube, which is vegan. But do not look for any product called “Croissant” as they do not exist in a vegan form.

I know that where I live Whole Foods sells them. Even some store brands, for instance, Kroger. Some of the regular croissants have no dairy. It just depends. Try your local store. And check all your ingredients to be sure.

I’ve had an air fryer for well over a year and even started a Facebook group, FatFree Vegan Air Fryers, to share cooking ideas. I’ve posted several air fryer recipes, but I’ve never taken the opportunity to write about the air fryer in depth, to review the different air fryers, describe how they work, give... […]

It’s a lovely almost Spring day here today at the coast. The dogs and I spent some time out in front of our house. I pulled out dead crocosmia leaves and clipped alder shoots; they took a nap in the sun. After a while I joined them, sitting down on a log that marks the […]
